I don't feel the need to discuss it further either. The suggestions I had were elicited in my more recent post today that included getting more photographer profiles, including attempting to get recognized pros on the profile list and actually having a non-judged Pentax-sponsored photo shosting site.
One of the Robert Glen Ketchum links (big user of Pentax 645 and 6x7) I provided, indicated that "Pentax has financially assisted Ketchum with regard to his purchase and use of its equipment and he uses most of the equipment in both systems". This was of course long ago, but possibly someone like that would permit his likeness to be used.
